Ayurvedic nursing incorporates traditional healing methods such as herbal remedies, dietary modifications, and lifestyle adjustments alongside conventional medical care, focusing on the root cause of illness rather than just symptom management.

Ayurvedic nursing assessments include not only physical symptoms but also mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Nurses evaluate the patient's constitution (Prakriti), current imbalances (Vikriti), lifestyle, diet, and environmental factors to tailor treatment plans.
